Anyway I release the clutch out then back in as QUICKLY as possible, my car directly after restart is to the floor (on its own, I don't touch the gas), I normally restart in 5th, even if I am only driving 20mph, this results in a violent lurch if I leave the clutch out after restart because the motor wants to race up then back down, in gear it can't do that and is really unhappy.

On my cobalt I can't even measure how many MPH I loose hitting the clutch in and out, its nearly undetectable.
Oh, thanks, gotta try that EDIT: Works!
